    I have him. I've had him right when they released him as I got him for the gold. So, I haven't posted doesn't effect me. But it's not right not right at all that there have been a lot of rotations and he hasn't shown. If only because of new players that came in for them to get their chance at him.

    Can we all at least agree that when Sarkhan DOES finally show up, we're not all going to shout 'Hooray!! Thanks devs!! You clearly have our best interests at heart!!!' and spend 50$ on duplicate BFZ cards?

    We have three (read: two) possibilities for vault entrance tomorrow:

    Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
    Liliana, the Last Hope - I don't recall her exact release - there might be another week on her?
    Sarkhan the Mad
    jk, it'll be Gideon.

    Liliana is going to be released in the next week, and obviously you'll find Sarkhan in the vault with Mirrorwing on sale

    You have to admit that Sarkhan is terrible appart from enabling you to play black cards in a red node.

    Sarkhan is in no way terrible.

    So the question is how long? I checked the FAQ and they are old from 10/27.
    I am 100 crystals short and I want to know if I have time to grind out the last bit or what.

    This! You staff members are out of control. We've been asking about Sarkhan for just over 2 weeks now and you guys wouldn't say a thing. Now suddenly he's in the vault? While I do appreciate the opportunity to add him to the collection, I'm beyond frustrated with your lack of communication. Since there was no indication he was going to be available, I had used my crystals on BfZ packs. Had I known though, I would have saved them to get him.

    This is the number one reason that I'm playing less and less. Get your **** together D3/HiFi/whoever is in charge of this stuff.

    I disagree. I'm excited that he can let me use red cards in a black node.

    Sarkhan is RB and it makes it unique at the moment. I do not contest that.
    .
    Sarkhan has +7 colour bonus, which is better than basic planeswalkers but worse than most others.
    Sarkhan colour pie is flat (+2,+2,+1,+1,+1) which is a bad thing: impossible to play infinite obliteration with a single association of 3 gems, and less importantly you cannot adopt a gem transformation strategy.

    Sarkhan abilities are what makes it terrible:
    The first ability is the same as Ob Nixilis but with one less card draw.
    The second ability is quite similar to Saheeli's first ability but it costs a creature and 3 additional loyalty just for +2/+2.
    The third ability looks the same as Nahiri's third ability, but narrower (works only with dragons) and costs once again 3 more loyalty.

    Arguing with someone who can't fight back, that's not very nice icon_e_wink.gif

    Black has multiple ways of bringing creatures back.
